The Saltwater prison Investigation
has resulted in the arrest Of Warden
Stordock on the charge of criminal
libel and subornation of perjury. The
complaint was made by friends of ex-
Warden Reed, and the charges are
based on the testimony Of convicts. It

any ono on their worthless evidence.
Stordock promptly gave bonds, and

From one point Of view Jay Gould
did shrewd thing in gobbling the
Baltimore & Ohio telegraph compa
ny, but it looks as though it would re-
suit in his loss in the future. The
capture by the Western Union Of one
after another Of its competing lines,
and finally Of the great B. 4 0. sys-
tenn, has aroused the country to the
unpleasant fact that one man has
monopolized an Important business,
and one which gives him control Of
all means for rapid transmission Of
business agreements and financial and
other news. It is a condition that
should not be allowed to exist, even if
the controlling man was far less
dangerous one than tais dreaded king
of Wall street gamblers. There is !.
general demand from t!ie public press
and influential men throughout the
country for a government telegraph
system. While the general plan Of
placing such business enterprises in
the control Of the government is not
without serious objection, the present
conditions must have some remedy,
and as it appears that noprivate COM
petitors can possibly succeed, it is
probably the best policy for the gov
ernment to now go into the telegraph
business. tits not generally advocat-
ed to buy the Western Union system,
although it would be no more than
justice to offer the owners the real
value Of it Chat is, what it would cost
to duplicate it) before building anoth-
err system at cost Of millions of dol
lars, and running the present one.
